Oh wow three houses hit 4 million, idk if that’s new or not.

I Wonder if it can leg out to 4.5 mil in the next couple of years.
 
Do we get platform breakdowns for multiplatfom games?

Thanks for putting this together btw
 
Does the Persona 5 number include Royal? Or is it just Royal? We're missing P5R PS4, unless it's included in what the PS5 number says

Hidari finally have a 1m seller under the belt lol. After all my dissing it finally has come to this point lol. Echoes with taht 1m sold.
 
Did we ever get Dark Souls figures before? Has the original DS1 not cleared a million on 360 or PS3 then?

Small miestake, this is listed in Worldwide, but MH4 was JP-only (MH4G was worldwide and sold 4.2m, as listed).

Should be Miracle Mask, not Moon :D

Other than that, thanks for compiling this again.

As weird as it is, MH4 was listed as global titles, it was literally below 4U, I don’t know why. Come to think about it, Capcom also doesn’t summit numbers to Cesa?
 
Really? That's weird, someone must have been really confused there.

....

Oh wait, maybe it's because of Asia? Iirc, there was some release in South Korea?
 
Thank you for the thread! Lots of interesting data to be seen here!
 
Nice at Dark Souls 1 Remastered doing over 1 million on Switch, despite being a late launch (compared to the other platforms) of a remaster.
 
Seems like most of the 3DS games that released after the switch couldn't do much. I'm surprised Echoes sold a million.
 
Dark Souls Remastered 1.15m on Switch surprised me. That's pretty high no?
Edit: let me clarify: it's a late port of a remaster already being out on PS and Xbox. So these numbers on Switch sound good. Maybe "Souls on the go" was big selling point for that.

It sold far better:

Is CESA only the PS4 version?
Click to expand...

All CESA ranking seems to be for single SKU so yes Code Vein is PS4 only.
PS4 could be at 1.02M but then it means it sold >2M on Xbox + PC and since Xbox is probably marginal that probably leaves >1.5M on PC which I don't know if that's believable or not (after all that was more or less sold as "Anime Souls" so PC had to be a big target audience)

Worth noting as well that the 3M milestone for Code Vein is from March 2023 while CESA stops at December 2022

On the book it says on ps4 plus elden ring is also listed it’s platform sales seperately …

hence highly likely the reason no Tales of Arise in the list yet

Outside of Pikmin 3 and TPHD, did any other Wii U games get any updates? Where are they all at?

Final Fantasy VII remake at 5mil

Is that correct?
Click to expand...
I don't think Square Enix provides updated anymore. Not for a few years now.

Game has been sub $7 on a very regular basis for PC so it’s not that surprising
 
Souls game are already big in PC but soulslike are even more heavily favored in PC where they have their biggest fanbase by far. Remnant II is the most recent example of this phenomenon with it’s incredible steam performance while not setting up in fire console charts.

I can't check since the book is packed and I'm on the way to the airport but if you want specific title numbers let me know and I could send it to you when I arrive home
